US HB8157

Amends the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 to add definitions for "risk to organic integrity" (likelihood that a product marketed as organic was not produced or processed in compliance) and "oversight protocols" (regulations, policies, and procedures issued by the Secretary)

Requires on-site annual inspections for organic operations located outside the United States, while allowing U.S.-based operations to have on-site inspections every three years with intervening inspections conducted on-site or virtually based on risk assessment

Directs the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a comprehensive study within 12 months on implementing risk-based oversight protocols, including differential treatment of non-compliance, standardized organic plans, and multi-tiered certification approaches

Requires a report to Congress within 18 months detailing study findings, developed in consultation with the National Organic Standards Board, certifying agents, organic farms, consumers, and other stakeholders

Authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations establishing or modifying oversight protocols to reduce costs and administrative burdens for lower-risk operations while prioritizing resources for higher-risk activities
